Introducing The Durkhan Tribesmen - New Minor Faction - Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
What it do fellers (and you are fellers).
Here we are again, this time with yet another showcase of an upcoming faction that will be featured in the now world famous, unreleased mod; "The Bannerlord Immersion Project".
These guys are an off-shoot of the Khuzaits and live in the far south eastern fringes of Calradia, right where the desert meets the steppe. Much like their Khuzait cousins, their main method of warfare comes in the form of the eternally OP and irritating horse archer. Unlike their Khuzait cousins however, the Durkhan tribes do not fight in conventional armies. Theirs is a warrior culture, focused around raiding and pillaging both in the lands of the Aserai and Khuzaits, and even the Empire, when the opportunity presents itself. They fight almost entirely on horseback but can perform admirably on foot as well. The Durkhan are not known for the craftsmanship of their equipment, with the exception of the massive falchion blades carried by their senior veterans, the Storm Warriors. As the Durkhan tribesmen are a mostly fragmented and rigid people, unwilling to adapt or change their traditions, they have failed to develop to the same technological levels of their fellow Calradians. Therefore, all of a Durkhan warriors strenght lies in his skill, not so much his equipment. They all posses above average combat stats and sub-par equipment, barring their horses, for all tiers of their roster but can nevertheless take on a formidable glass cannon role. Unlike the White Scarabs, these people will show up in larger than average numbers per party on the campaign map. The eventual plan is to add new settlements in their region to serve as their realm but initially, they will form a minor faction that can be hired as mercenaries.
I hope you like it, feel free to leave any feedback below.
